A nagging loyalty. Somehow, you can't quite backslide far enough to snip the thread that's interwoven with the double helix of your DNA. Is it that that final, brave leap of faith made by the apostate is one that your constitution simply won't allow you to make? Fear? These things plus simple socialisation and cultural responsibility, perhaps? I dunno, you tell me.
I find your analytical detail a little worrying. A surgeon's scalpel probably dissects less, although in your case it's all supposition and conjecture. You've never met me, all your assumptions are on the basis of what I post on here.
You are (I assume) basing these assumptions on your own thought process and reasoning. Your obsession in trying to get to the naked psyche of members is strange. You seem to have an innate desire to work out what makes people tick, their desires and train of thought.
Most people find this level of curiosity a little strange. It (in my opinion) stems from some personality/character trait you have. Perhaps a disorder. Whatever it is it ain't healthy.

Fair enough, Maz. You're right, I do like to know what makes people tick. I guess it's similar to your conjecture about the relationship I had with my dead father or your insistence that I'm mentally ill or your decision that my becoming a Christian is me "trying religion". All I want to know is why you call yourself a Muslim. When I'm asked why I'm a Christian I'm happy to tell my story and grateful for the opportunity to witness.
